V-Flyer

Do VS have regular sales for flights from Sydney to London?

Some friends want to come over in May and seeing the current offer on flights to Sydney I thought they might match them the other way as well. Unfortunatley not, 500 more to fly from Aus to here...

Kind of makes sense to me. It's the start of the summer season in the UK, and prices tend to go up heading into the better weather season.

I am not familiar with the route to be able to answer the question. I do know from experience, that sales tend to be a reaction to short term low bookings, and designed to put bottoms on empty seats. Typicaly the travel window is 4 to 10 weeks from the time of the sale.

I from time to time switch in to the China VS website and never once has a sale been there (despite regular sales to PVG ex-LHR) - it always says 'We currently have no special offers available. However great year-round fares abound.'. This has minded me to VS concentrating on ex-UK/ex-US flyers.

Every now and then I get a email from FC notifying me of sale fares to either HKG or LHR.
They have a sale fare on now book by end Oct for travel in Dec and Jan for $7769 but only valid on VS238/239 between LHR and HKG. I guess this is to get bums on seats towards the UK.
